• Install this unit as far as possible from the tuner or

• Set the antenna wires from the tuner or TV away from

this unit's power cord and input/output connection

cords

• Noise or disturbance tends to occur particularly when

using indoor antennas or 300 _/ohms feeder wires

We recommend using outdoor antennas and 75

£3/ohms coaxial cables,

For heat dispersal, leave at least 10 cm of space

between the top, back and sides of this unit and the

wall or other components.

r_ CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

• Switching the input function when input jacks are

not connected

A clicking noise may be ploduced if the input function

is switched when nothing is connected to the input

iacks If this happens, either turn down the MASTER

VOLUME control or connect components to the input

iacks

SPEAKER terminals include a muting circuit

Because of this, the output signals are greatly

[] FEATURES

1. Dolby Pro Logic II decoder

Dolby Pro Logic [I is a new format for playing

mulfichannel audio signals that offers

_mprovements over conventional Dolby Pro Logic¸

It can be used to decode not only sources recorded

in Dolby Surround but also regular stereo sources

into five channels {front left/right, center and

surround left/right} In addition, vanous parameters

can be set according to the type of source and the

contents, so you can adiust the sound field with

greater precision¸

2. Dolby Digital decoder

Dolby Digital, a digital discrete system in which the

different channels are completely independent,

recreates "three-dimensional" sound fields (sounds

with a sense of distance, movement and position)

with no crosstalk between channels for greater

reality¸ In addition, the 5 channels (excluding the 01

channel for low frequency effects) have a playback

range extending to 20 kHz, the same as the range

of CDs, thus resulting in clearer, more richly

expressive sound¸

3. DTS (Digital Theater Systems) decoder

DTS provides up to 51 channels of wide-range, high

fidelity surround sound, from sources such as laser

disc, DVD and specially-encoded music discs¸

10 cm or mo_e

reduced for several seconds after the power

operation switch is turned on or inpot function,

surround mode or any other set-up is changed

If the volume isturned up during this time, the output

will be very high after the muting circuit stops

functioning Always wait until the muting circuit turns

off before adjusting the volume

• Whenever the power operation switch is in the

JilL OFF or STANDBY state, the apparatus is still

connected on some AC line voltages.

Please be sure to unplug the cord when you leave

home for, say, a vacation.

4. High performance DSP simulates 7 sound fields

Playback is possible in 7 sunound modes: 5-channel

Stereo, Mono Movie, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video

Game, Matrix and Virtual You can en}oy a variety of

sound effects for different movie scenes and

program sources even with stereo sources not in

Dolby Surround

5. Personal Memory Plus function

Personal Memory With Personal Memory Plus, the

set automatically memorizes the surround mode,

channel volume, surround parameters, etc, for each

of the separate input sources

6. Remote control unit with pre-memory function

This unit comes with a remote control unit equipped

with a pre-memon/ function The remote control

command codes for DENON remote controllable AV

components as well as for LD players, video decks,
